Thanks for the suggestions. I think SharpMap is more overhead than I want, because all its operations seem to require a map object. But using the .NET graphics stuff is looking moderately promising (I think that's what SharpMap is doing behind the scenes).
I'm looking into both options in more detail. Jeff On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 12:21 PM, CodeKaizen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Jeff, > > SharpMap (www.codeplex.com/SharpMap) does this to an extent.
